Rules

Play nice. This is a community of people that share an interest in yoga. It is meant to be a safe and accepting place that is free of judgement. Let's all try to keep it classy, not lower ourselves to insults or rude comments, and make r/yoga an inviting place to visit. Rude or crass comments are subject to removal.

Check the FAQ. Many people have posted basic questions before. Please check the FAQ before posting another 'what-should-I-wear?' type post.

Please don't blogspam, advertise, or ask for crowdfunding. Occasional links to your blog are okay but please don't post every single time you update your blog. That will eventually get your blog banned and we don't want to do that. All links to crowdfunding sites will be removed.

Tag images of a person(s) in asana with [COMP]. If you are posting a picture of a person or persons in asana, in any form, you are required to tag it with [COMP] at the beginning of the submitted link's title (Check Out My Pose). Any posted photos/videos disobeying this rule will be subject to deletion. Please report violations.

When you go raw, prepare to spend a lot of time preparing and thinking about food. I went from vegetarian to raw, and was already eating 60%ish raw, so it wasn't as large of a step. At first, you'll likely feel pretty awful. It takes a while for your body to adjust.

It might be better to try straight vegetarian/vegan first. If you have a hard time feeling full without meat, try more fibrous vegetables, like broccoli and cauliflower.

For more information on protein, check /r/vegetarian 's history. There is plenty of information there about plant proteins.
